    Wobble Bolts? Anyone used them before?

    I was just surfing the net and came across this. Doesn't seem very safe to me but I could be wrong.

    VW kiddies use them all the time to fit 5x114.3 onto a 5x112 bolt pattern.

    I personally would never trust them!

    I especially don't like how you permanently damage/alter the wheels so they can never be used with anything BUT wobble bolts again ...so when I see wheels FS w/wobble bolts, I run away FAST

    I've never seen those before. Interesting, but I hate lug bolts. I converted my old MINI Cooper to studs & lug nuts.

    in theory they are a lot like the old skool mag wheels with adjustable washers and lug nuts... but I still just don't care for them!

    Some of the vintage BMW guys use them on 4x98 wheels and such.
